This cosy flat was designed for a couple of conscious, mature people who wanted to create their own private zone of relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the capital. They had long enjoyed spending time by the sea, so it was a natural step to locate the investment in this part of Poland – close to nature and the art they love.
Harmonious form – the key to relaxation
Initially, the interior was characterised by austerity and sharp lines, which the designer decided to soften by introducing curves and soft shapes. This gave the space an organic, relaxing character, ideal for resting. At the heart of the design is the gently rounded oak built-in – natural and timeless – around which domestic life flows freely.
A large mirror is installed in the entrance area, visually enlarging the hall and reflecting daylight into the flat. This clever solution helps to maintain brightness even in the less lit parts of the flat.
Together, the owners and the designer opted for a palette of natural, warm colours and eco-friendly finishes. Italian travertine, light oak, raw concrete, clay plaster and woollen fabrics form a consistent interior moodboard. The same materials are repeated in all rooms, emphasising consistency and harmony.
Thoughtful details in every area of the flat
The bedroom is dominated by an oak wardrobe, which contrasts with a subtle travertine headboard. The bathrooms, on the other hand, are dominated by stone washbasins, a bathtub and a shower cubicle, which provide distinctive accents. In the study, which also serves as a guest room, a flowing furniture design has been designed – the wardrobe flows seamlessly into the wavy oak wall, giving the room a unique rhythm.
Architectural concrete was used in the common areas, in which fragments of travertine were embedded. The result? An intriguing, overscaled terrazzo that gives the interior originality and character.
The focal point of the kitchen is a massive travertine island, the leg of which also acts as a bar. Its form was adapted to the shape of the room. Right next to it is a round oak table on three turned legs, designed especially for this interior.
Art – the interior as a subtle backdrop for the collection
The interior was deliberately kept in a subdued style in order to provide an ideal background for the owners’ private art collection. Already from the threshold, visitors are greeted by a mesmerising painting by Agata Bogacka, in the bedroom there is a work by Karolina Jabłońska, and in the guest room there is a harmonious composition of a painting by Edward Dwurnik.
Lighting and furniture – Scandinavian aesthetics
The choice of lighting has been limited to a few models of designer lamps that appear throughout the flat. Dimple Sconce wall lamps from RBW Lighting and Tense pendant lamps from New Works in the living area stand out. Scandinavian furniture – Hay Mags sofa, Little Petra armchair from &Tradition, chairs from the Betty line and HVEN bar stools from Fritz Hansen – complete the look. The office area features Gropius chairs by Noom – comfortable and stylish.
